Man Bitten by Rabid Fox, Prostitute Evicted From Hotel and Man Dies in Apparent Drug Deal Gone Bad

A fox that bit a 45-year-old Forsyth County man on June 5 has tested positive for rabies.

The day before the man was attacked, the fox bit a 5-year-old Daschund dog at a nearby residence in north Forsyth County, a press release stated. The man who was bitten shot the fox on his property and the remains were sent for testing.

This is the first confirmed report of rabies in Forsyth County this year.

A hotel employee called  after watching a number of different men enter and quickly leave the same room within a short period of time.

Hotel staff told police that during the evening of Tuesday, June 5, men had been entering the lobby "looking lost" and after a chat on their cell phones, made a beeline for the same room. When officers went to check the room they found a woman alone. She invited them in to "look around" and police found several used condoms in the trash can.

At that point, the Roswell woman quickly confessed to being a prostitute -- spilling her story of having to care for five children and how an acquaintance introduced her to a man who lured her with the promise of "a way to make some quick money."
